Midwifery in the UK

Being a Registered Midwife in the UK will have many similarities to being a registrant in any part of the world. The factors that influenced you to become a midwife and have driven you as a professional are universal.

In the UK, unlike some countries, Midwifery is regarded as a separate profession to Nursing.  The role of a Midwife in the UK is to provide skilled, knowledgeable, respectful, and compassionate care for all women, newborn infants and their families. As such, Midwives are accountable as the lead professional and have a unique relationship with all those they care for and support.

A few points about working as a midwife in the UK:

• Midwifery practice is regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
  
• NHS employees are paid according to their level or ‘band’ on the career ladder. The bands range from 1 to 9, and Registered Midwives start on Band 5 salary. Band 5 Midwives deliver and coordinate direct patient care.
  

Midwifery is a diverse and rewarding career that really makes a difference!
